Aylwin Judo Club Success in Cambridge, UK.
Aylwin Judo Club took a squad of players to the Ishin Ryu, Open Championships in Cambridge on 1st March 2009. For some of the younger members it was their first competition. The squad coaches were Richard Raymond, Laurie Dalton and John Baseley and the party included a number of enthusiastic parents.
The competition itself was a very good standard with about 200 competitors from a number of organisations. All the players worked hard in their contests and produced some excellent Judo.
The team proudly display their medals with the members from the primary class at the club.
Aylwin Judo Club would like to thank the Time and Talents organisation for the use of their mini bus which enabled the team to
travel to Cambridge for the day.
South London Success in Heerle, Netherlands.
Aylwin Judo Club and the BJC South London Area took a squad of players to the St Nicolaas Toernooi in Heerle,
Holland in November 2008. For some of the younger members it was their first trip to a foreign competition
and a great opportunity to visit another country. The squad coaches were Richard Raymond, Laurie Dalton and
John Baseley and the party included a number of enthusiastic parents and a long time supporter of the South
London Area, Edi Horne, whose husband was a fourth Dan with the BJC. Also attending the competition from
England was BJC club Washington from Newcastle.
The competition itself was a very good standard with over 300 competitors from a number of the Dutch Clubs
including some Dutch National players. All of the squad members fought very well and the squad took 3 Gold
medals, 2 Silver medals and 3 Bronze medals with the rest of the squad being placed in the top six in their
pools and receiving medals for this achievement. The medals winners included newcomers Liam Corbett (Gold),
James Aris (Silver), Oscar Watts, Joseph Corbett and Scarlett Corbett (Bronzes) with seasoned campaigners
and BJC National Squad members Peter Vincent and John Hisee (Golds) and senior Marc Hagone (Silver).
The hospitality of the Garami Heerle Judo club was excellent providing meals and accommodation etc and a
disco in the evening at the local centre where the English players stayed. Overall the weekend was very
enjoyable and successful and thanks go to both the Garami Heerle Judo Club and to the coaches from Alwyn
